It's a tough situation to hand out sticks to friends knowing they might put it out immediately. I find myself in this spot from time to time. I want to give them something good just in case they love it, but I don't love wasting all my premiums so I do what Hays suggests and I give them cigars I got on great Daily Deals. This way they get a good cigar to try, I'm not wasting much money, the cigars I'm giving to them are the ones I like, too, valuable space in the humidor is not wasted, etc. I wouldn't keep cigars that I don't like myself in the humidor just for these occasions.
